Notes:
* Recorded from the middle of the crowd, just right of center about 50-60 feet from the stage, and 30-40 feet under the PA stacks suspended above the stage. I hoped this location would give the best balance between the PA mix and the wall of Orange amps on stage, but I couldn’t avoid the boominess of a big arena.
* A mosh pit broke out about halfway through their set and I got jostled around a bit, causing some dropouts in the right channel when someone bumped me. I attempted to cover these up using Cool Edit, but they’re still noticeable, though not nearly as harsh as they were before the edits.
* EQ-ed down some unwelcome loud talking and some impatient SOAD fans near the end of the show, but you can still hear ’em a bit.
* EQ and light compression in T-Racks to tame some of the bass heavy boom of Key Arena, then back to Cool Edit for tracking.
